Arizona Asks Supreme Court To Lift, Pending Appeal, Injunction Against Its Genetic-Abnormality Abortion Ban

A petition was filed yesterday with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a partial stay of a district court injunction that prevents enforcement of Arizona's ban on genetic-abnormality-selective abortions. (See prior posting). The petition (full text) in Brnovich v. Isaacson was filed after the 9th Circuit refused to stay the injunction pending appeal. The petition seeks an injunction while appeals work their way through the appellate courts. SCOTUSblog reports on the Supreme Court filing.
